Fitness, part of or in support of kempo?

I’ve been on a fitness kick lately. I took a ‘Physiology of Exercise’ course this summer, and really wrapped my head around what I need to do for my own fitness needs. I adjusted my cardio, and picked up some weights. What consideration do you give fitness in your kempo practice, and teachers, what fitness elements do you include in class.

I’ve often thought of conditioning as a separate domain from the skillset that includes ‘the fighting arts’. I include fitness in my classes, but I don’t confuse that with the learned skill of kempo.

How do you see it? How do you do it?
